Scotch Broom is an invasive plant in the US, but that doesn't mean it's not good medicine. Butchers broom and Spanish broom are Not the same.... make sure you ID correctly, that's important! There's an association with witches and "broom" & lots of historians believe this plant is Why. Like people, individual plants have roles. Some are nourishing, some destroyers of yuck, some target systems, some balancers, some link you to the higher realms, some heal children, some work on healing the spirit or mind or heart or root you to the earth. Some are masters of planetary arts... air benders, water protectors, fire carriers, memory keepers. To wield & wave a wand of broom is said to control Air and weather. To drink an infusion of blossoms brings excitability meltng into sedated bliss. This is what I call a Major Power Plant. This is not go frolicking thru the clovers. More of a get on your knees, worship, pray, ask. She repels folks like all the time. Anything you think about a broom ... Yes. Ceremonially, household but Research or you might sweep your partner out the door. This queen does not play. She's hazardous... RESEARCH. But it's true that if you cure the blossoms well and long & smoke them you'll be astro traveling deep. It's about Relationship.. create one if you feel called. Millennia this had been revered medicine. It effects the ELECTRICITY of the heart and the weather....I cannot advise you to go messing with broom on a full moon but I can say i go messing with broom prayerfully, in humility and with gratitude. And a bit of cleansing nausea ... Sometimes you have to get that shit Out of you to purify and make space to recieve the plant medicines downloads. RESEARCH. and be blessed. Noteworthy is it's historical use as an abortificant, labor/uterine stimulator, diuretic, heart protector, & it's called the Goddess Tree, used as magical, spiritual and physical medicine since time immemorial.

Here's a mock orange blossom. I was nominated for the #foragingchallenge by@paforaging.... So I have to eat completely WILD FORAGED FOODS ONLY for a day.... For me that means me and my family;) You have to choose a day in the coming week....I chose Thursday. And if you get nominated you have to pick 3 other nominees!!! So I am nominating @metamoonastro @atmosstratus22 and @holistic_wildflower Y'all game???? I guess you could just fast on a few mint leaves in water for the day😂 The mock orange... It's not known to me to be of any real medicinal value, but it is quite pretty and wonderfully fragrant and the leaves can be used as a soap. The essential oil holds the vibration of "releasing old patterns I the forge the way of the new". I suppose that is very good medicine after all....indeed. #foragingchallenge #veganaf #wildharvest #foraging #freefood #rewild #plantbased #survivalist #knowthyyarden #knowthyneighborhood #findtheforest #theresfoodoutthere #eldersisterorganics #herbaldownloads #graciasporlamedicinamama

How do you enjoy Poison Oak? It's that time of year again and coming from me, possibly the most hyper sensitive to poison oak person I've ever known (well, up there, I have seen worse, poor guys--but that does Not discredit the Anguish I've suffered, sleepless nights, sheer madness, insane crazy ready to jump off the bridge jacked the heck upedness that poison oak IS & can do to a person😭). It's the only plant I've ever met that literally seeks to murder me. I avoid it like the plague but it is vengeful! It has a convenient way of Crop Blocking me when im out wildharvesting. Yea, funny. I ain't going near that mess. And the money (and hopes destroyed!) I've spent on crap like zanfel and technu & and homemade soaps.) On a brighter note, there is a Remedy. Wild, free & it's plant medicine and works like NOTHING IN THE WORLD that I've ever found and you can believe I've searched high and low and globally like Yearly!;) This pic I took is way cool because it shows the LEAFY qualities in winter/spring fairly well & summer look. LEAFY stage reminds me of "houseplanty" with wavy, curvy edges to its long, 2 toned leaves laid out in a radial pattern like say, dandelion leaves. Then the leaves get weird, broken, dried up, yellowy then they disappear all together. What emerges is this wild hairy brown "hair".... Like a horse tail hair or a brown mature coconuts outer fibers. Like a brush or broom. Very unique.... Not likely to confuse it for another plant. If you're lucky you'll find a SOAPROOT looking like this one.... Once you have the leaf down, you'll ID it with ease from a mile away. They grow in communities most commonly. And often right next to its good buddy, poison oak. By the creekside, low water tables or natural springs, in the sand and rocks is typical. There are a ton of uses for soaproot....like soap. Shampoo. Sealing baskets. Arrowhead sticking on. Stunning fish. Making neat Native American brushes. Edible when roasted.... All kinds of stuff but you'll have to catch my blog to learn more, insta is so limiting! Do yourself a favor.... Get Soaproot BEFORE you need it!! #soaproot #poisonoak #eldersisterorganics #herbaldownloads #graciasporlamedicinamam
